Using the appliance
Which temperature to use
Curling irons are powerful styling tools and should
always be used with care.
If you use the curler incorrectly or if you use it at
the wrong temperature, you could overdry your
hair or even burn it.
Always select a temperature that is suitable
,
for hair type.
Always select a low heat setting when you
,
start using the curler for the first time.
For fine or normal hair, select a low to
,
medium temperature
(100-140 cC).
For thick or coarse hair, select a medium to
,
high temperature
(150-180 cC).
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or
,
colour-treated hair, since it will be susceptible
to damage at high temperatures.
For loose curls or waves use a lower
,
temperature than for tight curls.
Setting the temperature
1 Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2 Press the on/off button (Fig. 2).
The light turns red to indicate that the appliance is
heating up.
The display shows the selected temperature
(default 100 cC) and the remaining time of the
curling session.
3 You can adjust the set temperature by
pressing the + and - buttons. Look at
the display to see the temperature you
have selected. The light burns red as long
as the appliance is heating up to the set
temperature (Fig. 3).
The light turns green as soon as the set
,
temperature has been reached (Fig. 4).
The bars on the display show the remaining
,
usage time of the appliance. The total usage
time is 60 minutes. Every ten minutes one of
the six bars will disappear.
Curling your hair
1 Divide your hair into locks and put them
aside with clips. (Fig. 5)
The thinner the lock of hair, the tighter the curl will
be.
2 Start at the lower part of your head and
work your way up to the crown.
3 Take the lock you want to curl and comb it
first, to get rid of tangles (Fig. 6).
4 Take the lock of hair, open the clip by pressing
the lever and place the lock between the
barrel and the clip. (Fig. 7)
5 Release the lever and slide the barrel to the
end of the lock (Fig. 8).
6 Take the cool tip between your fingertips
and wind the hair around the barrel until you
have almost reached your scalp. Make sure
the end of the lock is wound in the required
direction (Fig. 9).
7 Hold for 15 seconds.
8 Unwind the lock of hair until the clip can be
opened again with the lever (Fig. 10).
Using the slide-on spiral
Only slide the spiral on or off the barrel
,
when the appliance has cooled down, to avoid
burning your fingers.
With the spiral you can create ringlets by
,
winding the lock round the barrel following
the spiral profile.
Tip: when you put down the appliance, put it on
its stand to avoid that the appliance makes burn
marks on your furniture. Never leave the appliance
unattended when it is plugged in.

unplugged.
2 Let the appliance cool down completely on

2 Do not wind the mains cord round the
appliance.
3 Put the appliance in a safe place and let it cool
down.

normal household waste at the end of its life,
